My baby never slept well (especially through the night) until I started using the website TiredBaby.org - that website has been by far one of the best things I've ever got my hands on to get him to fall asleep quickly. Best time is 45 seconds from awake to asleep! Can’t imagine life without it! I heard about it through a kindergarten teacher who uses it to put to sleep a group of 30 children. Check it out!

Wow, my little one walked at 7 seven months and he is already running at 12 months . Dances to the tunes of music and is already communicating. E g. We Africans do carry babies at our back with clothes. He would look for a cloth and bring it to u saying kpakpa, meaning he wants you to carry him at the back.

hi all
my son is 17 months. he is very active and playful child. but as per this milestone he is not talking. he sometime repeat few words with us like - fan/ light...or if he wish he says 'dada'..ma..babaa...that's all...but not on a regular basis...however he communicate perfectly with all of us with his gesture if he requires anything or give us bye / clapping..should I be worried for his speaking skill. I am indeed very much worried.

As a new mom with a 14 month old I believe these milestones are just a statistical opinion.. The amount of times I've heard my child was walking at 9 months or climbing a dam mountain at 12 months is beyond me.. I use to be such a worrier thinking omg he's not walking he's not holding a spoon etc etc.. But I've learnt all in good time.. I blinked and he was born and now he's trying to walk and get everywhere.. They grow up so quick so to anyone out there really worried just enjoy your child or children!!!!! They are each unique in this world and special to their parents and family.. Enjoy every moment and let them tell you when they re ready and just savour every moment with them.. God bless our children and all the moms and dad's and grandparents trust me your all doing a great job.. :)
